Python API Developer - Backend Architecture

Responsibilities : API Design and Development : - Requirement Analysis : Understand the specific needs and functionalities of the API. - Design Patterns : Implement appropriate design patterns (e.g., RESTful, GraphQL) to ensure scalability, maintainability, and performance. - Coding : Write clean, efficient, well-documented Python code to build the API. - Testing : Conduct thorough unit, integration, and API testing to identify and fix bugs. API Documentation : - Clear and Concise Documentation : Create comprehensive documentation that explains how to use the API, including input parameters, output formats, and error handling. - Version Control : Maintain version control for the API documentation to track changes and updates. API Maintenance and Optimization : - Monitoring : Monitor API performance, usage, and error rates to identify potential issues. - Troubleshooting : Diagnose and resolve problems that arise with the API. - Optimization : Continuously optimize API performance and efficiency. - Security : Implement security measures to protect the API from vulnerabilities and unauthorized access. Collaboration with Frontend and Backend Teams : - Integration : Work closely with frontend and backend developers to ensure seamless integration of the API into the overall application. - Communication : Effectively communicate API changes and updates to relevant stakeholders. Staying Updated with Industry Trends : - Learning : Keep up-to-date with the latest Python libraries, frameworks, and API development best practices. - Innovation : Explore new technologies and approaches to improve API development and performance. Required Skills and Knowledge : - Python Programming : Strong proficiency in Python programming, including object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms. - API Design : Understanding of API design principles, RESTful architecture, and GraphQL. - Web Frameworks : Experience with popular Python web frameworks like Flask or Django. - Databases : Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., MySQL, MongoDB). - Testing : Familiarity with testing frameworks like pytest and tools for API testing. - Version Control : Proficiency in using Git or other version control systems. - Problem-Solving : Ability to analyze problems, identify solutions, and troubleshoot issues effectively. - Communication : Excellent communication skills to collaborate with team members and stakeholders. Primary Skills : - Workflows and APIs are developed in Python as AWS lambda functions configured using AWS Cloud formation templates - The developer must have prior experience and understanding of these tools - Minimum 5 years of experience in software development lifecycle - Developer must have experience with JIRA or other agile tool - The resource should be able to work independently with minimal guidance - Developer must have experience in code management and deployment process eg Azure DevOps. Mandatory skills : - Strong experience in Python API development with working knowledge of AWS Cloud - Strong leadership and communication - Must have prior experience in code management and deployment process (ref:hirist.tech)
